sanctity is not

an optional extra of the process of creation,

but rather its entire purpose

Donald Nicholl

I posted this on the October ’20 page and it still resonates with me.


The Merriam-Webster definition of sanctity:

sanc·​ti·​ty | ˈsaŋ(k)-tə-tē

holiness of life and character: godliness, which leads to divine, holy


It makes sense. The statement is clear and crisp and clean | pure. I had never deduced as much. The word divine stands out amongst all others. It is easy to know what it is, even if by what it isn’t. Sanctuary has been, and still is,

a favorite word of mine,

because to me, it implies safety, freedom, and perhaps even purpose. I am speaking strictly in a spiritual sense, the realm inside. I go there sometimes, to a place of peace and balance. Not often enough, I admit. If I were to do so,

how different would my days and nights be?

Now, there’s an endeavor and goal that I would cherish at last. My breathing is suddenly deeper and slower. I ❣️ when that happens.
